Abstract:  A new method of frequency analysis for Hamiltonian Systems is presented. The method is based on the concept of instantaneous frequency extracted from the continuous wavelet transform of the trajectories. Knowing the time evolution of the frequencies we can define a frequency map, resonances, and diffusion in frequency space as an indicator of chaos. The method is applied to the Restricted Three Body Problem.
